Rat infestations in cars are increasing, causing damage and safety risks, especially in cold weather.
Rat infestations in vehicles are rising, especially in colder months as rodents seek warmth, according to Rentokil Pest Control.
Rats enter through small gaps, nesting in engine bays and hidden compartments, where they chew through wiring, seatbelts, insulation, and hoses, causing costly damage and safety risks—particularly in older or classic cars.
They also contaminate interiors with droppings and urine.
Most comprehensive car insurance covers repair costs, but not pest removal, and third-party policies typically exclude such damage.
Experts advise using natural repellents, avoiding damp parking areas, keeping vehicles clean, and seeking professional help promptly if infestations are suspected.
